Pennsylvania is home to world-class cities, mountains, farmland and beautiful Amish country. No matter what you’re looking for, the state has it. But one thing no place can offer is a complete haven from mental health challenges.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than one out of five American adults lives with a mental illness. In Pennsylvania, that comes to roughly 2.35 million adults — more than seven times the population of Pittsburgh. Many Pennsylvanians living with anxiety, depression or another mental health condition say they don’t know where to turn for help.
No matter who you are, there’s help available in Pennsylvania if you or someone you love is dealing with a mental health challenge. Reach out to one of the following state-level or national resources if you need help or someone to talk to.
